None of us is born thinking we are ordinary. Feeling special is an essential part of the human
birthright. If you don’t think you are special, you won’t seek
to contribute your gift to the world. -Rabbi Shmuley Boteach

Another card from Crafty Peeps Scrap day.
Shannon saw this card om Pintrist and wanted me to make it (she is really good at finding cards she wants me to make LOL)
Since I love poinsettias - she didn't have to ask me twice!

I love how these turned out. Not very hard to make and they look lovely!

Always good to have a few sympathy cards on hand... case in point. A close family friend recently passed away. It was nice not having to think about a card during this time as I had a few already made.

Supplies:
Card stock, sentiment & ink: Stampin Up!
Flower was created using Sizzix flower die #2.
I embossed the individual pieces with a Darice die called Fireworks"
Pearls are from my stash

Ok ... I am posting this because it made me happy.
My good friend Shannon made this for me when I told her I'd made the CAS Design team at The Outlawz Challenges!
I love it and want to share it ....
And there's no pink!

Running late on this one ... This is for the Outlawz CAS challenge CAS081113

The challenge was to use primary colors only and one neutral (I know - I have two!)
Anyway - I saw a card on Pintrist that I used as inspiration ... it looks like she used a re-inker & alcohol technique and I really liked the way it looked.
However - I used acrylic paints and a stippling brush. This is my second try at it and I am happy with it.

SUPPLIES:
Card stock: Stampin Up!
Sentiment: Unknown
Flower created using Sizzix flower die #2
The flower was cut out, ran through a crimper several times causing the paper to separate in layers allowing my to peel and get, basically, two flowers to one die cut.
EF: Sizzix "Snow capped"
I ran the flower through the EF after separating the layers
Stash: Little punched Snowflake, Rhinestones

Last night I received an email from Colleen Holmes (she created The Outlawz Challenge website) asking me if I'd consider becoming a permanent member of the CAS Design Team!

Of course I said yes!

So stayed tuned for more as I embark on my newest adventure as a Design Team Member for the Outlawz Sunday Clean and Simple Challenge!

Come join us .. the membership is free, the people are awesome. You get 7 challenge choices to play with. You can some great ideas and even win some really cool prizes! And the best part are the people!

Funny story though - was intended for two earlier challenges until I looked at the card all happy and realized both challenges were CAS and this was a little much (in my opinion)! LOL - oh well - maybe next time I will pay closer attention!
